Aker BP已獲得英國石油安全局(PSA)的同意，將使用馬士基鉆探公司(Maersk drilling)旗下的馬士基無敵(Maersk Invincible)鉆井平臺在挪威赫德油田(Hod field)進行作業。

安全部門周四表示，Aker BP將使用馬士基無敵自升式鉆井平臺在福德油田鉆一個前期勘探孔。

該井的主要目的是繪制該地區淺層氣/水的風險圖。

鉆井作業完成后，油井將被永久封堵并廢棄。

荷德油田位于挪威北海區南部，距瓦爾霍爾油田以南約13公里。水深72米。

1974年被發現，1988年批準了開發和運營計劃(PDO)。

該油田采用了無人井口平臺，由Valhall遠程控制。1990年開始生產。

原來的Hod平臺已經不再使用，將在井被永久堵上之后被移除。

Aker BP最近向該國的石油和能源部提交了其關于Hod項目的再開發和運營計劃(PDO)。

Kvaerner公司已經獲得了一份合同，為Hod油田的無人井口平臺提供上部和鋼底層結構。

Subsea 7公司已經獲得了一份合同，其中包括EPCI公司為其船隊的關鍵船只提供管道、接口和連接設備。

計劃于2022年第一季度開始生產。

Aker BP cleared to use Maersk rig for Hod pilot hole

Aker BP has received consent from the Petroleum Safety Authority (PSA) to use the Maersk Drilling-owned Maersk Invincible drilling rig for operations on the Hod field offshore Norway.

The safety authority said on Thursday that Aker BP would use the Maersk Invincible jack-up rig for the drilling of a pilot hole on the Hod field.

The main goal of the well is to map the risk of shallow gas/water in the area.

The well will be permanently plugged and abandoned after the drilling operation is completed.

Hod is a field in the southern part of the Norwegian sector in the North Sea, about 13 kilometres south of the Valhall field. The water depth is 72 metres.

Hod was discovered in 1974, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 1988.

The field was developed with an unmanned wellhead platform, remotely controlled from Valhall. Production started in 1990.

The original Hod platform is no longer in service and will be removed after the wells have been permanently plugged.

Aker BP has recently submitted its plans for the re-development and operation (PDO) for the Hod project to the country’s Ministry of Petroleum and Energy.

Kvaerner has been awarded a contract for delivering the topside and steel substructure for the unmanned wellhead platform at the Hod field.

Subsea 7 has won a contract which includes EPCI for pipelines, umbilicals and tie-ins using key vessels from its fleet.

Production start is planned for the first quarter of 2022.
